The Centre for Literary and Linguistic Computing at the University of
Newcastle (Australia) has been doing very interesting
stylometry/attribution work for a while now.
Their excellent website allows you to play around with principal
component analysis.

Comment: Re: SHK 15.0977 Stylometrics
I don't mean to harp on about what apparently was a throw-away comment
by Marcus Dahl, and am grateful that he's clarified it:
>My connection with Godel was simply that
>sometimes it is possible to show reliably that
>we cannot in principle know / do something . . .
That's the use of Godel that I object to. Before Godel we were already
aware that there were things that could not in principle be known or
done. Godel's contribution to the sum of human knowledge was much more
glorious and specific than that.
I cease haranguing Marcus on this point.
